Descriptive Writing

Recently in class we have been doing descriptive writing, as they wanted to make sure we wouild all be ready for "High School". Wr have so far written a piece on "The Library" where we had to describe either being a book on the shelf, a teacher, a student or the author of the book, then we had to write another piece about "A bedroom" wether it be your bedroom, a dream bedroom or a room in your house. Then the last one we wrote was also about "The Library" but we wrote about the setting and the piece below is the one I wrote.

The Library

The dirty windows blocking out the bright vibrant sun, the books disordely chucked onto the shelves, the librarian ready to pull out each individual strand of hair on her head, students rowdier than ever, footsteps surround me, the teachers efforts to make the class quiet devastatingly fails, the brand new shelves are already covered in a layer of dirt and dust, books sprawled across the floor, the displays that were once stunning in colour now dull and in complete disarray, it's dark the lights were sick of being the days entertainment, they've left but their shrieks and cries still linger within the walls.
